Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.95%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.87%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.7%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 2.62%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.48%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.33%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.08%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (8.14%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.94%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.46%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.2%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.75%)
